Bribe for even a formal name change request
- Electricity and Power Supply
- Change of Name in Records
- Paid INR 2,000
Its really disgusting that corruption has gone rampant in all disciplines and departments of the society. You would be surprised to hear that I put this request before a private electricity distribution company and the staff went on explaining that you would have to wait for 6 months for the normal procedure to change the name on the connection status. However if you pay 2000 on top of the normal fee Rs. 1500 (i.e. a total of Rs 3500) the process would be completed within 2 weeks..
I'm really astonished to see that how money can drive processes quickly as a catalyst. But mind you this menace is worse than any tsunami, H1N1 or any other deadly disaster..
